Equipment Needed 
Table 5-2 lists the equipment you will need to calibrate the specific types of inputs that 
are listed in the table. You will need a screwdriver to connect these devices to your 
controller. 
Table 5-2  Equipment Needed 
Type of Input  Equipment Needed 
Thermocouple 
Inputs (Ice Bath) 
•  A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a 
signal source such as a millivolt source. 
•  Thermocouple extension wire that corresponds with the type of 
thermocouple that will be used with the controller input. 
•  Two insulated copper leads for connecting the thermocouple 
extension wire from the ice baths to the mV source. 
•  Two containers of crushed ice or a commercially available ice bath. 
Thermocouple 
Inputs (T/C Source) 
•  A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a 
signal source such as a millivolt source. 
•  Thermocouple extension wire that corresponds with the type of 
thermocouple that will be used with controller input.
